There seems no longer to be any doubt that one of our most dreaded Pand fatal diseases is caused by soil dampness. If a damp soil be not the cause, it is certainly one Vf the conditions most favorable to the development of pulmonar consumption. Two things have unquestionably been proved in this condition ; first, that consumption is most prevalent on damp soils, and secondly, that the removal of this dampness by efficient sub-soil drainage causes a rapid diminution in the death-rate from consumption -in localities where this improve Ment has been made. Let us look at some of the facts which have led -o these conclusions. In 1862 Dr. Bowditch, of Bo ton, the pioneer in these investiga tions, obtained statements from the resident physicians of 183 towns in Massachusetts,which led him to con sider it as highly probably though not absolutely proved, that soil dampness held a causative relation to pulmonary consumption. He foreshadowed "the existence of a aw having for its central idea that dampness of the soil in any locali ty is intimately connected, and probably as cause and effect, with the prevalence of consumption in that town." What~ Dr. Bowditch rendered probable by these investigations, Dr..Buchanan, of England, in his capacity of health inspector, seems to have rendered certain by his. He found that in towns where im provements had been made in this respect, the mortality from con sumption had greatly decreased; the extent of the diminution cor responding to the extent of the dry ing of the sub-soil. "In Salisbury, for example, the death-rate from phthisis (consamr tion) has fallen 49 per cent.; in Ely 47; in Rugby 43; in Banbury 45; and in thirteen other towns -> the rate of diminution, though not so marked was nevertheless note worthy.". The following general conclu sions are given by Dr. Buchanan, as the result of his inquiry: "First. Within the counties of * Surry, Kent, and Sussex, there is, broadly speaking, less phthisis among populations living on im perv-ious soils. "Second. Within the same coun tiee there is less phthisis among populations living on high-lying pervious :soils than among popula tions living on low-lying pervious soils. "Third. Within the same coun ties there is less phthisis among populations living on sloping im -- pervious soils than among popula tions living on flat impervious soils. "Fourth. The connection be tween soil and phthisis has been established by this inquiry, first, by the existence of general agreement in phthisis morality in districts * that have common geological *and topographical features of a nature to affect the water-holding quality of the soil. Second, by the exist ence of general disagreement be tween districts that are differently circumstanced in regard of such features; and third, by the dis covery of pretty regular concomi tancy in the fluctuations.of the two conditions, from much phthisis with much wetness of the soil, to litfie phthisis with little wetness of the soil. "The foregoing conclu sions combine into one : that wet ness of soil is a cause of phthisis, to the people living upon it." Some investigators believe that soii-damnness is the cause of many other diseases. Dr. Bell iu his report on the drainage of Kings so;N . xrse h pno that nt on., expressthen butin thatnt n consmptto,ut in-rs remic adfemttnt eersi, rop h qeuinast e dafetons, pneu-aga .mm aninw ainthera nnen water logged either wholly or it part, to drain such territory of itc surplus water. -By surplus water is meant thai which is not held in the soil by ca pillary attraction; all that watei which would run away from a quan tity of earth placed in a barrel with holes in the bottom. Suc drainage can easily be accomplish. ed. Unglazed tiling with joint. carefully protected, laid at a depth of three or four feet, with propez inclination, and at suitable dis tance, will drain any soil, however wet, in less than twenty-four hours. To ascertain whether a given lo cality requires draining, let an ex cavation be made to the depth oi three feet, and if water is found in it twenty-four hours after the heaviest rain, the locality is unfit for human habitation. The ill-effects of a damp soil are not confined to those imediately living upon it, but extend to a considerable distance; so that every inhabitant, whether his own be wet or dry, should concern himself in this matter. It is preeminently a subject of general in. terests. The evils resulting from a water log. ged soil rapidly increase with an in. creasing population, and at the same time the difficulties of drainage be cone greatly increased when a place comes thickly settled. In fact it is almost impossible in many cases, after grades are established, and permanent improvements made, to accomplish, even at a great expense, what in the early history of a place could be little. It is also important that the water falling upon the roofs of houses should be promptly conducted away, and not allowed to saturate the soil around the foundations, and find its way into cel lars. Shade trees should be disposed about dwellings as not to interfere with the rapid drying of the surface of the ground. Where trees and- shrubbery are massed together indiscriminate, and cover large areas, they shut out the sun's rays, and offer such obstacles to the circulation of the air as to ren der them in many cases a source of unhealthfulness; especially is this the case when they are planted in close proximity to dwellings. Trees should be arranged in groups, with ample space between ; and shrubs, instead of be inig planted under the trees, should al so be arranged in groups by them selves, and should cover but a small proportion of the grounds. Could these suggestions be acted on, there is no doubt that in many places the list of mortality would be greatly decreased. It is evident, how ever, that the thorough drainage of a place must generally be accomplished as a public measure, and cannot be left to individual enterprise alone. Laws should be passed rendering it obligatory on local authorities, to car ry into effect such general ieasures as will render it possible for every one to draiai his land and make it ille gal to erect dwellings on water-logged territory. A system of thorough in spection should be instituted in every place, and houses constructed without due regard to sanitary consideration should be advertised as unhealthy. It is very important for practical sanitary reformers to arouse public in terest and create a public opinion. Without doing this, they will be impeded and perhaps thwarted at al most every step of their wor'k by the selfishness of unenlightened private interest. But in the face of a public opinion such as knowledge of the facts is sure to develop, the most bi goted obstructionist will be unable to hold his ground, and most property owners will become active favorers of reform. In many communities it would serve an excellent purpose if a health association could be organized, and as many intelligent citizens as possible be induced to join it. Such an association might take as its work the diffusion of knowledge on this class of subjects, both among its own mem bers and the community at large; the securing of necessary legislation; and active co-operation throughi its officers with the public authorities in giving effect to such legislation. A great field of use[ulness lies in this direction, and in a rapidly growing country like ours no time should be lost in attend ing~ to it .-,T. W. PINKHAM, M. D., in Christian Union. TURNIPS AND CoRN.-A West chester County (N. Y.) farmer is in the habit of sowing yellow Aber deen turnips among his corn at the last passage of the cultivator, when the plants are about five feet in height. The turnips do not make much growth until the corn is cut, after which they swell rapid ly. The cost is nothing except for seed and harvesting, and corn, being already cut, is not injured weth tunpargahr dn From one tofurnipsnaredathedin Fo tunper afore havded benhels obtunihper lcessaein thusr Iop.ained,thu aressning tlerd crop the oestret nof thleaed, isndeted asole shengt be, toe-n a domina a e abould he. to use Miiscellaneons. HOW TO GET SLEEP. THE BEST TIME AND EASTEST WAY ' WOO MORPHEUS. Mr. Frank Buckland, in his "Essa in Land and Water," says: We rea of Bismarck that "his old foe. insomni still tenaciously clings to him. I passes wholenights waking. At morr ing dawn, slumber, if not sleep, come at last, but day finds him weary an unfit for work, yet with mountains ( work to get through." Having pai considerable attention to this impor ant question of being able to procu sleep, I venture to record what know about it. The human frame cannot do witi out sleep. I believe the reason is th the mysterious property-for want < a better name we call it "vitalenergy -gradually leaks out during the daj During sleep the machinery of tlb body, especially the brain, becomt recharged with it. The cause of nc being able to sleep-I write now < people in good health and hard worl ers with their brains-is that th brain cannot, so to speak, "go down, but continues to act more or less. M father, when writing the "Bridgepm Treatise," had his own way of wor ing. He was an excessively bus man during the day, and had only th night hours in which he could write He generally dined at 7 o'clock, an immediately after dinner went to slee for two or three hours. He then gc up and worked on until 2 or 3 o'cloe in the morning. Just before retirin he took some light pudding or a sand witch, with cocoa or milk. Thus h always slept well, as the blood was d verted from the brain to the stomac I have no hesitation in saying tha the proper thing to do is to go t sleep immediately (or at least ver soon) after the meal of the day. A animals always go to sleep, if the are not disturbed, after eating. Thi is especially noticeable in dogs; at the great John Hunter showed by a experiment that digestion went o during sleep more than when the ani nmal was awake and going about. Thi is his experiment, lie took two dog and gave them both the same quantit of food. One of them was the allowed to go to sleep, the other wa taken out hunting. At the end c three or four hours he killed bot: these dogs. The food in the stomac1 of the dog which had been asleep wa quite digested; in that of the on which had been hunting the food wa not digested at all. This fact, I think, shows the ad visability of going to sleep immediate ly after eating. This ignored fact al ways occurs to my memory when see old gentlemen nodding over thei wine. Nature says to them "go ti bed" They will not go to bed, bu still nature will not allow her law t' be broken, so she sends them to sleel sitting in the chairs. People, therefore who feel sleepy after dinner ought ti dine late and go straight to bed when; sleepy feeling comes over them. Most good folks, however, do thi worst possible thing imaginable; the: retire altogether in the drawing-room and then, to make matters worse, the; drinig tea and coffee: Now, I re gard tea and coffee, when taken a night, to be poison to certain consti tutions. . It is very well in the morn ing, but is very bad at night. Thb reason why tea and coffee should no be taken at night is that the one con tains an alkaloid called theine, aui the other contains an alkaloid callei caffeine. These two alkaloids take into the systems stimulate the brain and do not allow it to go to rest. speak of this from experience. If I tak thoughtlessly a cup of tea or coffee al ten 5 o'clock in the evening, going ti bed at 11, I cannot go to sleep; ani if the brain does fall asleep, the alka loid will wake it up in about an hou or two. Sleeplessness, therefore, i usually caused by tea or coffee, thougl: strange to say, tea and coffee actuall; send some people into sound slumber I well recollect the late Dr. Wi berforce, then Bishop of Oxford, tel ing my father, then most actively ei gaged as Dean of Westminster, of hi patient way of going to sleep. Iti better than the old-fashioned prescril tion of watching sheep jumpin; through a hedge one after anothex ships sailing out to sea, &c.

It will be found easy to d this ivithout moving the lips, for to d this the muscular action of the lir necessarily takes place, and sleep come not. I advise my readers to try thi plan. I once heard a midshipman wh complained that he could not slee at night because there were no wave dashing against the sides of the shi1 To this noisa he had so many month been accustomed that he could not slee without the familiar sound.

This is Darwin going ba e ward 7 s Dogs, likewise, will sleep at nig t if they can; cats, I observe, are sleel in the morning, the reason being tlh the wretches have been out all nigl and, of course feel very seedy in t morning, and doubtless their he aches sometimes, and it serves the t right if they do, considering the r< they make fighting and caterwaulin F I have strong rksons to think th my own black cat is president of free-and-easy club, for they hold th( meetings among the ruins of the C P losseuin at the back of my house. t This is a regular "cattery."
